Coconut oil sugar scrub: My absolute favorite gift to make for friends, family, neighbors and teachers is this DIY sugar scrub. This year, I started using coconut oil instead of olive oil and I love it even more!

Make this for any of the ladies in your life. It’s great for dry heels, softening your legs before shaving and just about any relaxation home spa gift basket you’d want to give.

This year this gift is especially useful since I figured out sugar is a migraine trigger for me. So now I’m using up all of my sugar making pretty, pretty gifts for friends, family and myself!

Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub

1 pint jar (I like to use the squattier gift jars, but a regular wide-mouth is fine, too)

Mix all ingredients in your jar (I don't even measure, I just eyeball it in my jar and mix away!). You can also mix it in your stand mixer.

Add the essential oil until it smells wonderful to you!

You’re welcome. I was making some yesterday and someone who was over asked if it’s edible. I said yes, I guess it is, and tasted it. Not bad. Depending on the oil flavor I guess! Lavender might not taste great. 🙂

I usually say something like, “use in the shower to soften legs before shaving, or to soften other dry skin like heels and elbows”
And an ingredients list + a warning that it can make your tub slippery. 🙂

Do you mean hard? When you get it in the shower with you, the coconut oil with soften or even melt. If you like, you can add some liquid oil like olive oil or avocado oil to make it wetter if you’re using it out of the shower more often!

Hope that helps!
